Additional "Very Fast Answer" Adjustments Made

You may notice further changes in rankings, though not at the top. I realized today, as I was preparing the next PL/SQL Challenge newsletter, that not everyone whose answers were astonishingly fast had been adjusted. I looked more closely at my algorithm and found that I was restricting the adjustment only to those in the top 10 rankings.

Obviously, that is not appropriate.

So I applied it more broadly and 48 players were bumped down in the rankings.
